The Spider: Terror of the Zombie Queen: Vol 1

by David Liss

The Spider, one of the most celebrated pulp heroes of all time is back, and re-
launched into the 21st
century! Richard Wentworth is a decorated war hero who has sacrificed everything,
including the woman
he loves, for duty. But the New York City Wentworth returns to is riddled with crime and
corruption. With
the police overwhelmed and a populace helpless, Wentworth becomes The
Spider, a vigilante as
ruthless and merciless as the criminals he hunts. But now there's a new danger on the
rise.

A deranged woman called Anput has begun a series of attacks that turn ordinary
citizens into
mindless zombies, bringing New York and the police force to its knees. Wentworth will
stop at nothing to
save the city he's sworn to protect, but in the process he will risk his family, his friends,
and the woman
he still loves.

Written by bestselling novelist David Liss (Black Panther, Mystery Men) with stunning
art by Colton Worley (Dracula, Lobster Johnson), The Spider is dark, hard-hitting neo-
pulp at its best.
Collecting issues #1-6 of the critically acclaimed series, The Spider, along with a
complete cover gallery.

Also contains writers commentary for issue #1 of The Spider by David Liss as well as
character sketches by Alex Ross! "The Spider #1 is a fantastic slice of action and world
building. it's
bleak and it's harsh but it's all in service of the story and not just for the sake of it. Liss
has previously
shown some really good writing prowess and here it is capitalized upon.

Read the first four pages and see if I'm wrong. I just found my new favorite pulp
comic." - Comic Book Resources

"All in all, I can't recommend this book any higher. it'sucks you in from the very first
page and doesn't let go until the last. And that's what a comic book should do." - Geeks
of Doom

"All in all, this a very healthy dose of awesome. it's a solid first installment and shows
a lot of potential for future plotlines. Pulp is back, my friends, get it while it's hot!"
